May 16, 2013
I met Mrs Margaret Thatcher for the first time when I was India's envoy to London in 1990.

3. India's foreign relations : Is Delhi once more crouching before the dragon?
May 16, 2013
With much regret but little reluctance, I have to record for the third time in recent months that the handling of India's foreign policy, especially in relation to its immediate neighbourhood, seems to be going from bad to worse. We let the tiny Maldives defy us and give China (and to an extent Paki...

4. Afghanistan : A critical year in the life
May 16, 2013
As the year of withdrawal of US-led NATO forces from Afghanistan, 2014 has assumed so much importance that it is discussed everywhere in the context of the war-ravaged country's future.

8. East India Company : Still brimming with life and spice
May 14, 2013
You can almost smell the juniper berries in the heart of Mayfair. Just as representatives of the East India Company (EIC) used to enjoy sipping their stengahs as the sun went down over the Far East in Elizabethan times, so their modern descendants will soon be drinking in the same spicy floral aroma...

10. North Korea : Kim's swagger speaks of weakness, not strength
May 14, 2013
On a visit to North Korea in the early 1990s, I packed a history of the country.
